Tips for choosing the best tiles while remodeling your bathroom

With so many types, shapes and materials to choose from, choosing the perfect tiles for your bathroom remodel can get difficult. Not only do you have to choose between vinyl, ceramic and linoleum tiles, there are also some tiles that trap heat and keep your floors heated for some time.

Right color

You have to choose your tiles based on the color you plan to paint your bathroom and if you want the tiles to be shaped or modeled to a specific design. It’s important you choose complementary tiles for your bathroom as brown tiles don’t look good in a bathroom with greenish-blue walls!

Right budget

Budget is another constraint to consider while choosing tiles for a bathroom remodel. While marble and ceramic tiles are longer lasting, they are expensive to buy and install. You have to choose based on your budget. Moreover, if you plan to remodel your bathroom again soon, it is better to invest in cheaper tiles that are easily removed instead of the expensive ones that aren’t easily removed.

Hot or environmentally friendly tiles

Heated bathroom tiles may be a wise choice if you plan to spend lots of time in your bathroom or if you live somewhere cold. You can also opt to have environmentally friendly tiles like easily renewable bamboo tiles which give a chic look and are eco-friendly.

Minimal maintenance

There are some tiles like expensive stone tiles which are better avoided as they require lots of care and cleaning. So if you don’t want to end up spending lots of time cleaning them, these tiles are better avoided. Instead, look for tiles which are easy to maintain like ceramic tiles.

It’s always better to choose your tiles based on its looks, your budget and ease of cleaning and maintenance, and not just for the sake of choosing something! With the right tiles, your bathroom remodeling project will definitely be worth it!

Makeover ideas to create a lavish small bathroom

Small touches make a small bathroom appear more welcoming. If it’s your very own area, why not add creative makeover techniques to make the room dazzling? An important step is to leave a comfortable amount of room to move about. One solution is to look at typical baths and showers Canberra homes have and think about how to change the design while keeping the features you like best.

Think about different ways to reduce weekly cleaning. Colorful painted bathroom walls fade, peel and streak from sunlight and steam. The assorted patterns and textures of vinyl wall coverings are easy to clean. Wipe them down with a sponge and enjoy the décor for many years. Create an artificial flower arrangement in a shallow bronzed bowl. It’s easy to refresh the silk petals and leaves on this glamourous décor. Set the bowl on the edge of the granite slab around the basin.

Elegant stone baths such as Haven and Neptune are fashionable choices for bathroom makeovers. Their freestanding design makes them ideal to place catty-corner, along the wall, or in the center of the room. The appeal of natural curves and the smooth texture of the stone add to its relaxing comfort.

Back-painted glass on part of the bathroom wall complements the stone bath. Limestone and high grade resin is mixed, cured, and polished to perfection. Select from grey, black or another color before choosing the tapware for the bath. Minimalist wall top assembly continues the elegant look of the room. Kara white or chrome tapware is another style that adds beauty to a small bathroom.

Small knick-knacks and pictures make a tiny bathroom seem larger. Compact showers Canberra homeowners sometimes decide to include as part of their bathroom makeover take up little room. Sketch out a rough design of what you have in mind to share with the businesses you contact for assistance and products.
